Goodyear officials said Tuesday that its Danville plant will be temporarily closed following a worker's death, the second in less than two weeks.

Gary Cooper died in an incident Tuesday morning. No other information about the incident has been released, but Goodyear officials said in a statement that they have reported the incident to OSHA and will cooperate with the investigation.

"Goodyear is taking this matter very seriously and will be temporarily closing the Danville plant to complete a full evaluation of the facility and thoroughly investigate the incident. Our hearts go out to the family, friends and co-workers of the employee during this very difficult time."

A March 31 incident resulted in the death of Kevin Edmonds, 54. Family members told WSLS that an autopsy concluded Edmonds died of asphyxiation.

Including the death of Jeanie Strader, 56, in August, Tuesday's incident marks the third worker death at the plant in the past eight months. All three people had worked at the plant for at least 15 years.
